Personally, proto-swarm launchers make me laugh. Whenever i get hit by heavy proto swarms i just watch where they come from and use my dropships speed to fly literally right over the swarmer but be going so fast that all of his swarms are completely useless, and i make sure to let him know i know exactly where he is :P & people that SP sink that much just for swarms is pretty hilarious alone.

Thank you very much :P And i completely agree, the one thing that determines whether you will survive in a dropship (apart from random RDV's) is your skill, and my python can out-run a 2nd swarm shot any time of day, because once the first swarms hit me i have about 5-7 seconds to put my fuel injector on and speed away. But i have seen some insanely funny DS crashes as I'm shooting them down, such as the pilot trying to land ontop of a building but as he's getting out his dropship topples over the side and takes him with it, as well as while a DS is trying to run away from my proto-missle launchers he runs right into a large building.
